Gabrielle Giffords's border bill goes to Obama's desk

A day after the House gave 408-0 approval of her border bill, the Senate quietly passed the measure by voice vote without fanfare, sending it to President Barack Obama for his signature.

The bill will toughen penalties against drug smugglers who use small aircrafts, and it clears Congress a day after the Arizona Democrat resigned her seat to recover from the shooting incident that nearly killed her a year ago.
